A Paralyzed Farmer.

A Detroit butcher named Joe Will
etts was up in Mecosta County few
days ago to see some relatives. Joe is
built after the old-style architecture
one story and n basement--and any
man who picks him mp for consump-
tive is bound to feel sad over the m s.
take. While out riding one day with a
friend he came across farmer who
was trying to "yank' a stump out of
the ground with yoke of feeble look
ing steers The stump had begun to
give" but the steers strained and
twisted and pulled and couldn't bulge
it another inch.
"What are you trying to do?" asked
Joe as he stopped his horse.
Trying to pull out this infeyual
stump. SIR" was the reply.
"And the steers can't do it?''
mo. nor any other yoke in these
parts. It'll take pound of gunpow-
der to lift that stump"
"Shoo! now, but take of your cattle.
I'm something on tine pull myself"
"1 ou! Say, do look llko foolp You
can drive on, stranger
But Joe jumped down. slipped the
Chain off the yoke, drove The steers to
one side, and then walkes over to the
stump and sad:
"Sometimes the dis. fies over half
an acre of ground Better shade your
eyes"
With that he spit On his hands,
clasped his arms around the s.ump,
and without a bulge OF his eyes he lift
ed the whole thing out of the earth and
flung it aside with the remark:
Shouldn't like any better fun than
to pull those steers backwards over the
fence, but we must be going now. So
long. old man."
And he climbed in and drove Off At
a bend in the road half mile away
they looked back. The farmer stood
there, mouth open and eyes as big as
Bermuda onions. and when they wav-
| cd their hats at him he never moved a
hair. He couldn't He was paral, zed.

silver EYerywhere.

WASHINGTON, Juno 1.-THE count
of the cash in the United States Treasury,
which is now in progress, has developed
the fact that the vault capacity is entirely
inadequate for the safe handling of silver.
The silver vault was filled to its utmost
capacity some time ago, and there still re-
manned about 100000 standard dollars
which for want of a better place were
piled in bags in the passageway leading to
the vaults. In making the count these
bags had TO be removed to an outside hall,
where they now remain protected from out
side interference by nothing but pine
board partition. 1t has. therefore, to he
guarded at all times by watchmen. Every
precaution has been taken to prevent its
being tampered with while in its exposed
condition.
The count will last five weeks more and
the silver cannot be returned to the vault
room until that is concluded. In the mean
time work is being pushed on the new sill
yer vault that was authorized by the last
Congress. 1t will have storage capacity
for 100, 100000 standard dollars and will
probably be ready for use in September.

A Barber and n Laborer Win a Big
Prize.
San Francisco tCai) Chronicle, May4
Zacharias Messenger is barber who
has pursued his trade of scraping
chins and clipping hair at 315 Bush
street for some two or three years past
He has during that time had the honor
of exercising his tonsorial art upon the
caput of Boss Buckley and in oonse-
quence has enjoyed the patronage of
the followers of the great Bush street
statesman. His trade was good one
and afforded him good living, but
nothing more, and he endeavored to in
crease his store of gold by wooing the
tickle Goddess of Fortune by investing
in lottery tickets. He paid his sd-
dresses more particularly to the good
dame who presides over the drawings
of the Louisiana State Lottery and has
held one or two couponsin in nearly ev-
cry drawing during the last three
years. AS the gamblers say. he has
played in good luck and has nearly al
ways won enough to give him r small
profit, so that lately he has been
"playing with the money of the
bank A few drawings ago he came
down town and as he passed the Chron-
icle office he saw by the bulletin board
that ticket $1,000 had dawn the
capital prize of s150.OOO. He knew
that his ticket was $1,000 and some
thing and he rushed home to get it.
His delight can be imagined when he
found that he held a coupon of the win
ming ticket, which entitled him to $15,-
O00 He went down to his shop, pre-
sented each of his assistants with suit
of clothes, made arrangements for
them to carry on the business and last
week he and his wife started on a trip
to Europe. He expects to be gone
abont seven months and to spend from
So, 500 to $4,000 on the trip. The re-
mainder of the money he will invest in
some safe 80 ,urity as a nest-egg, and
when he gets back will put it in some
legitimate business.
The other lucky man is Swede
named A. Monsoon. who lives at 1864
Center street in Oakland. He is
laboring man and has been living
hand-to-mouth existence such as usu-
ally falls to the lot of a toiler in the
land. He bought coupon from
peddlcr as a speculation. When he
heard of his good luck he could not be-
lieve it, and when Convinced that he
had won $4,000, turned white with
excitement. He is a single man and
is now much sought after by the young
ladies of his acquaintance.

without literary polish, and it was gen.
orally believed that such polish as his
greatest speeches revealed was the
work OF some cultivated friends or
skillful secretaries. He had advanced
far In his first term before his literary
abilities began to be admitted by schol-

hastily-written composition, and the
Gettysburg Grafton brought the long
delayed tributes.
One of his historians points out that
long before MIR. Lincoln had more than
local repute he had given proof of
great literary abilities This historian
quotes Lincoln's speech made while in
congress in 1S4S on the subject of the
Mexican war, and says: with this
speech on record it is strange that the
genuine literary abilities of the man
were SO long and persistsntly ignored
by the literary people. There were

he was discharged. The prosecuting wit
